Seismic-Sedimentologic Interpretation of Thin Sandstones 薄互层砂岩的地震沉积学解释 Hongliu Zeng BEG，University of Texas at Austin 1 Amplitude stratal slices and depositional systems振幅地层切片和沉积体系 Coastal plain and incised valley. A distributary channel system. A slope-fan system. A tidal-dominated shore zone Meander loops. (tidal flat and tidal delta). 2 1 Detection of 1-m thin beds 检测一米厚薄砂体 Detection limit = 1 m Dilemma of seismic resolution 地震分辨率悖论 • How to understand the “resolution” of below-resolution thin beds using stratal slices? 如何理解用地层切片“分辨”低于地震分辨率的薄砂体？ • Below-resolution sampling causes confusion 低于分辨率采样引起认识上的混乱 • Must introduce the concept of spatial resolution 需要引入地震空间分辨率的概念 2 Concepts of seismic resolution and detection （Sheriff, 2002)分辨率和检测率概念 • Resolution limit: For discrete seismic reflectors, the minimum separation so that one can ascertain that more than one interface is involved. (Sheriff, 2002) • Commonly accepted resolvable limit is Rayleigh resolution limit, or λ/4. • Detection limit: The minimum thickness for a bed to give a reflection that stands out above the background. Often of the order of λ/25.
